Aptoide Sues Google Over Alleged Monopoly in Android App Distribution
Aptoide, a Portuguese Android app store, has filed a lawsuit against Google, alleging that the tech giant is monopolizing app distribution and billing on Android, violating U.S. antitrust laws. The lawsuit claims Google's practices harm smaller competitors by restricting access to exclusive content and steering developers toward Google Play. Google has faced multiple antitrust challenges recently, including a settlement with Epic Games and a ruling that its search engine is an illegal monopoly.
